Keylor Navas prepared to make return to Real Madrid squad

Keylor Navas will finally make his return from injury for Real Madrid, joining the squad for the first time this season for the trip to Las Palmas. 

Zidane revealed as much in his press conference. 

“Keylor will be in the squad, he's going to travel with us. Fábio Coentrao is back training normally and he could be on the list. He's ok, but perhaps he'll be a bit off the pace, which is normal after five or six months.

“He's fine, here's nearly there. You'll see if he's at 100% when he's back in the team, but he's in good spirits.”

Kiko Casilla has done well in Navas’ absence and may keep his place in the side for the weeks ahead.

Zidane added on Navas: “We all know he's important for us, as are Kiko and Rubén. He's a great goalkeeper. We'll see how we sort things out. Keylor is a crucial player for us, just as Kiko is. I

“’ll speak to both of them to see how we're going to organise things. You might think that rotation doesn't happen for goalkeepers, but as far as I see it, it can happen just the same as for outfield players.”
